Kind of like Richard Scarey who I was a big fan of when I worked. Love this little book.Travellin' Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286703342642772792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-1393456218713310622014-06-29T19:29:37.173+10:002014-06-29T19:29:37.173+10:00It was reprinting Louise and has only just come ba...It was reprinting Louise and has only just come back into stock.<br /><br />We had a lovely morning with Jan & Margaret. I had admired them both from afar for such a long time (Sunshine and Moonlight were books that I started using on my first teaching pracs).<br /><br />Jan's legacy lives on in her wonderful body of work and the goodwill she created by events such as this :-)Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-83320489598682663282014-06-29T00:08:38.722+10:002014-06-29T00:08:38.722+10:00This book sounds delightful- I haven't found i...This book sounds delightful- I haven't found it yet. I love your photos of Jan Ormerod, she looks so youthful- I just googled her and she was only 66 when she died of cancer. It's special that you were able to meet her. Such a terrible shame she died so young. How fabulous of her to do portraits of the kiddies! It's such a gift to be able to draw like that. I sure wish I had some tiny skill in that regard, but sadly have none. Lovely to see you and Margaret Wild too. Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.com
